Matthew 9:2-8

Legacy Standard Bible

^2 (A)And behold, they brought to Him a ^(B)paralytic lying on a bed. Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralytic, “^(C)Take courage, ^[a]son; ^(D)your sins are forgiven.” ³ And behold, some of the scribes said ^[b]to themselves, “This man ^(E)blasphemes.” ⁴ And Jesus ^(F)knowing their thoughts said, “Why are you thinking evil in your hearts? ⁵ For which is easier, to say, ‘^(G)Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’? ⁶ But so that you may know that ^(H)the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—then He *said to the ^(I)paralytic, “Get up, pick up your bed and go home.” ⁷ And he got up and ^[c]went home. ⁸ But when the crowds saw this, they were afraid, and ^(J)glorified God, who had given such authority to men.
